According to the Data Processing Times page, there's a major backlog in the Trivia section. As of this post, the oldest item in the Trivia section is October 22, 2016, with over 1000 items submitted but not processed.

If you've submitted the information earlier than October 22, it's possible that the item was not approved and you'll need to provide more proof for the trivia item. I would submit the 18-digit reference number from your email receipt or the Update History from your personal IMDb account  so the IMDb representative can find out if there were any issues with the submission.

If you've submitted the data on October 22 or later, it's likely that IMDb has not gotten to your submission and is still being processed.

Hope this helps.

Clarification: The date I quoted was for Trivia items in movie titles. The Bio: Trivia section has a oldest item date of November 15th.

In addition to GMJ's helpful answer above (thanks) ... if this is a title trivia submission then please visit your contribution history at https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history and simply press the "Track Contribution" button attached to this contribution to check its status.

No it wasn't a title it was for a simple trivia information which took forever to be submitted
